Genres, and stuff

Joel Thomas Zimmerman is one of the greatest artist in his lifetime.  You could not compare him to any other artist.  He is different to any other music artist,  he puts on a mouse head, and plays his music.  I do not know any other artist that does something so different.  He is one of the most hard working artist, but that comes with a consequence.  On July 30 2010  at 9:30 in a Washington D.C.,  Joel Zimmerman collapsed on stage, suffering from exhaustion, and vomiting.  He had to be rushed to hospital, and had to cancel his next 9 concerts.  I would say he should put more holes, or something that can let the air flow through his mouse head.

 He has many different genres, but I'm only going to be talking about a couple of genres they play.  Electro house is one of the genres I'm going to be talking about.  Electro house is a genre that is combined with several other electro dance music.  Another genre is dubstep.   It originated in South East London, and has reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals.

 The name of Deadmau5 came from a weird sighting of a rat.  Joel Zimmerman found a dead rat in his computer when he was changing his video card.  He started to talk on chat rooms about what happened, and he became known as "Dead mouse guy".  His user name was to long so he changed his name "Dead mouse" to Deadmau5.  It's very interesting how he got his techno band name from a dead rat.  Hopefully you like my blog, and please post on this blog.  Thank you.
